Now if Germany has any laws against reverse engineering or copy-protection bypassing....then that's a different story

WTF!! mudLord, Your tool is not promoting piracy. if that's true, all hex editors and disassemblers are Pirating Tools and no one should use or buy them.. if you want example with the same f#cked up logic, What about P©SX2, it's causing unintentionally software Piracy cause most pcsx2 users (99.9999% use downloaded bios and some games), I dont understand why you need this thread closed..

Actually servers moved this week. I do beleive they have been relocated to the US.

However, I don't see anything wrong in this thread (yet? XD).
Guess we'll let mudlord reply and see if he still wishes to close this thread.

Guess, I misunderstood guys.

Since these forums are in Germany, lets keep it open. My main concern was that I get a cease and desist from Sony DADC or Macrovision for reversing thier copy protection technology. Thought, since this forum is in Germany, there shouldnt be anything draconian like the DMCA, I really hope.

The WHOIS says differently....

IP Location: - Germany - Server4you Dedicated Server Hosting

and if it is true about moving to the USA....WHY THE **** WOULD THEY DO THAT? Expecially for something as "copyright-sensitive" as emulation.

Is it just me or...?

Dunno the reasons but all I know is that the new server is a beast. (They may not be in the US, but aniway )

Back on topic!
